No, it's not nonsense. Violinists spend YEARS honing their craft. Do you have any idea how hard it is to bring a bow back and forth and not have it sound out of tune? Yet, all we have to do is hit a key on our keyboard to do what takes musicians YEARS to accomplish.Elektronisch wrote:Bass, pianos, orchestra has nothing to do with this. Those things are made out of convenience and are more as an element in the whole piece of music.wagtunes wrote:Do you have any idea how hypocritical this is?

Because of my frustrations with Vocaloid (all the criticisms) this is the VST that I would pay $1,000 for if somebody would make it.
Here's how it works.
You sing into a mic. The audio then goes through the VST and converts YOUR voice into any singer's voice you want it to sound like and perfectly on key. So, you could sound like Sinatra, Bon Jovi, Meatloaf, Cher, anybody you can think of.
The VST comes with a group of "stock" singers. Maybe 10 to start. And then, if you want, you can buy expansion packs.
The Pop Diva Pack
The Metal Heads Pack
The Prog Rock Pack
The Soul Pack
And so on.
Can you imagine the soul/R&B pack with Wonder, Stubbs, Gaye, Ross and Brown?
And all the vocals sounded 100% human. Absolutely could NOT tell them from the real thing because each note is produced by an actual human voice.
Yeah, I know. Crazy idea. Like I said, I'd pay mega bucks for something like this.
Anybody else?
You also will be out of the job wags
Go on. Tell me that you can REALLY tell the difference between a real orchestra and a MIDI orchestra with some of the amazing sample libraries that we have today when used by some of the people out there who can program them to sound freakishly realistic.
So if we're going to take your "altruistic" view of things, we need to get rid of all of this stuff. The pianos, the drums, the bass, and ONLY use instruments that sound synthetic. Nothing that sounds like the real thing of any real instrument made.
Bunch of hypocrites. That's what you all are.
Voice is something you born with and later on you develop it. Its not without a reason we have singers with great unique sounding voices.
Wags stop it, stop doing nonsense arguing because it will lead nowhere again. If you are not happy and want to rant about something, go on to twitter.
But if you cant afford a singer, try https://www.fiverr.com/ you can find there some great ones for cheap
Yep, like I said. Bunch of hypocrites.
